day no. 16,811: quicksand and longstands

"We affirm that the living God is the God of all the livng and that all who hate wisdom do so because they are in love with death (Prov. 8:38). All attempts at culture building apart from the God of Scripture are attempts that will spiral downward into a culture of death. This city of death has many back alleys, and the whole thing is a slum, filled with promiscuity, easy divorce, abandoned children, pornography, lesbianism, sodomy, and the carnage of abortion. The culture of life we represent stands against this anti-culture, this culture of death, at every point. We deny that any of our graduates can compromise in any way with this sexual revolution and in any way represent our vision. There is no compromise here." — New Saints Andrews College, Thirty Theses on Culture Building

Defy the Death Cult at EVERY point.

Christendom must stand against the deathmongers wherever they assemble. But it cannot stand on quicksand. Christ is the only rock into which one can dig his heels deep enough to endure the surge. Wobbly knees won't due on the day of onslaught. Faith in the Way, the Truth, and the Life is the only way to stay in the foxhole while being fired upon.

Psalm 106:30a-31

Then stood up Phinehas... and that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations for evermore.

Stand up.

While everyone else is down with the darkness, resist it. Like Phinehas, stand up while others are laying down and be counted among the righteous and remembered reverently by them.

Ephesians 6:10-13

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Waylay the wiles of the wicked.

Wrestle against the wreckage of the wretched. 

Defy the death cult.

Stand.
